GDM2 2.16.2 (stable), the "Combo" Release
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 10/31/2006 09:23 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
The 2.16.2 release is a stable release of GDM with the following new features:
- Now support for "combo" style lists, and id values of "session" and "language" are supported for displaying the session/language lists as drop-down combos. (Brian Cameron). For example:
lt;item type="list" id="language" combo="true"gt;
lt;pos x="25" y="10" height="40" width="300"/gt;
lt;/itemgt;
lt;item type="list" id="session" combo="true"gt;
lt;pos x="50" y="10" height="40" width="300"/gt;
lt;/itemgt;
- Now OK/Start Again buttons are sensitive/insensitive in a more sensible way for both gdmlogin and gdmgreeter (if GTK style buttons are used in gdmgreeter). (Brian Cameron)
- Face Browser widget and background rectangle (for gdmgreeter) is not shown if there are no users to display. (Brian Cameron)
- Help button now enabled in gdmphotosetup. (Matthias Clasen)
- Fix so that if timed user script returns an invalid user that timed login is not turned on. (Andrew)
- Fix bug that was causing %t to be expanded improperly when used in the timed login label. (Brian Cameron)
- Set authdir to NULL after freeing to avoid accessing an invalid pointer. Fixes bug #359831. (Amnon Aaronsohn)
- Leaks fixed. (Kjartan Maraas)
- Translation updates (Abel Cheung, Priit Laes, Daniel Nylander)
Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen lt;mkp@mkp.netgt;. Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl, and Brian Cameron currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England.
Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will however save backups with the .orig extension first.

No RPM this time around BTW. Have fun. A spec file is included though, so you can try:

lt;item type="list" id="language" combo="true"gt;
lt;pos x="25" y="10" height="40" width="300"/gt;
